gollark: What if they just terminate it?
gollark: 8!? Wow, that's 40320.
gollark: But I just had you factorize a number instead, as a basic test of "ability to solve simple problems using a computer".
gollark: I was considering a maze as the "challenge" to uninstall potatOS.
gollark: DOWN WITH SECURITY THROUGH OBSCURITY!
